Manchester City legend Joe Hart meets fans in Abu Dhabi and Dubai

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has vowed to assist Phil Foden in regaining his best form after a 10-month goal drought. Foden, 26, scored twice in City's 5-1 Champions League victory over AEK Athens, marking a positive turnaround in his form. Prior to this, he had gone 10 months without scoring. Maresca, who took charge of City in June, discussed Foden's mental health struggles and emphasized his importance to the team.

He stated, "I know Phil from years ago so I know how for different reasons, the last few years it was not good enough." Maresca also highlighted the significance of having talented players like Foden, noting, "If you improve the players, you improve the team." The Italian, managing City for the first time, has started the season flawlessly, winning his first seven Premier League matches.

However, the team's success has been overshadowed by potential severe sanctions from the Premier League due to financial rule violations, which could result in a large points deduction. Despite these challenges, Maresca remains optimistic, stating, "In any club, when you lose important players, many important players, and you lose the manager after 10 years, it always takes time to compete again."
